…a single game can make. And what a difference a subsequenly horrible game can make. Tuesday everyone was talking division title. Now people are a lot more reserved. Probably the most interesting part about this is the Royals send their best starter, Zack Greinke, to the mound tomorrow. I’m smelling a series loss.

But in the grand scheme of things, it’s a long season. Sparky always said every team wins 60 games and loses 60 games. It’s those middle 40 that make the difference. Fortunately he didn’t stick around to see the 2003 Tigers, or he’d know 60 wins isn’t a guarantee. If we then sweep the Indians this weekend, all will be better again.

In the “stretching myself too thin” category, I’m going to be doing yet another writing assignment. At Reds Cutting Edge, I’ll be doing a 1975 Reds diary. Blade has the intro up, so check out the site today, and then be sure to stop back tomorrow for Opening Day.
